Default Update your Neuspeed rear sway bar brackets

Do you have a Neuspeed 19mm or 22mm rear anti-roll bar on your car? If you do, and you've already run the bar and the brackets for 30,000-40,000 miles, please email me at greg@neuspeed.com and I will send you out a fresh set of reinforcement brackets for your car at no charge.

One of our longtime customers who is also a driving school instructor recently reported to us that after 2 years of use with the rear 22mm bar on both the street and track (approximately 40,000 miles driven) he cracked both the subframe AND the reinforcement bracket. As a result, if you're approaching either the 2-year mark or 30,000 miles of use on your Neuspeed rear sway bar, please contact me for a fresh set of reinforcement brackets.

If you have any question, please contact me off the forum at my email box. Please do not reply to this thread.

Best Regards,
Greg Woo

Default Greg - will this likely happen with newly installed 19mm in 2 years?

if so, is there something that should be done now to help prevent problems?

thanks... josh

Find the center of the bar and cut through it.

Default sounds like Neuspeed took a big hit & is trying to avoid others. can't blame them since longevity

tests are truly done on us. It's nice to see that they're attempting to fix the problem(s) at no costs of the owner.

Would it not prevent the problem?
